even at 0-60 at ~6 seconds, will still be a lot of fun.

Interesting that polished exhaust is the only option now along with polished heat shield, or am I reading this wrong?

Good find! The 3 wheeler site still hasn't been updated

Polished exhaust is standard, black exhaust + heatshield or just black heatshield are options.

I guess I can live with 6.0 seconds (lol), but I wonder how many K/L it can get. 42 litres should be able to give at least 800 kms on a full tank, right?

In the text above the spec list, it says "acceleration times of 0-60 in under 6 seconds." It is possible they are being conservative with the 6 second estimate?

EDIT: I want to know specifically about all of the "many more extras available"

Also, I am in need of some education on what exactly the "Le Mans filler cap" is. I am assuming it is referencing the style of gas cap, locking perhaps?

Orange and yellow are nice looking editions. Im especially keen to orange, but I doubt i would get either if I were to get one at some point.

And as to the 0-60 if its 6 or 5.9, 5.8, etc. Chances are most people wont even notice the difference between a few milliseconds difference and be happy with the performance.

Well the google answered my question about the Le Mans filler cap.

"Constructed from aluminum, with steel inner support, this "Le Mans" style gas cap was a popular feature seen on early 911s raced in the USA."

The "Le Mans" filler cap is the flip up alloy fuel filler cap. Standard on all the Classic four wheelers and those have a lockable cap under the flip up cap so I assume the 3 wheeler cap is also similarly lockable.

Is it alu finished (i.e. matte) or is it one of those chromed ones?

If you look at page 4 in the new brochure, there is a close up picture of the gas cap. The pages with the photos that looked as if they are taped in place.
